Sobre este artículo
New York: St. Martin's Press, 2005. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hard cover in very good condition with black boards & gold gilt spine lettering. Text block clean & tight; no writing; no markings. 303 numbered pages. Concludes with a Glossary. Dust jacket very good with only ghost of shelf & edge wear. * From the front flap, ""As the main spoken language of the Jews for more than a thousand years, Yiddish has had plenty to lament, plenty to conceal. Its phrases, idioms, and expressions paint a comprehensive picture of the mind-set that enabled the Jews of Europe to survive a millennium of unrelenting persecution: they never stopped kvetching......Michael Wex gives us a moving and inspiring portrait of a people, and a language, in exile.""
